This spring, I had the honor of serving on United Way’s selection committee for the 48th LIVE UNITED Awards, celebrating local volunteers and nonprofits. It was nearly impossible to compare the impact of the different organizations and individuals, but one of the most impressive nominees was the Monterey Bay Chapter of the National Charity League, Inc. The other committee members agreed, and Monterey Bay’s National Charity League was named the LIVE UNITED Awards 2024 Community Service Group winner.
